Rub Reggie's cheeks in the new WarioWare.

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
And we're done here.

You mean when Nintendo intentionally overpriced it based on E3 hype? Yeah? It's not like that was it's break even point...

I don't know. There's nothing too fanboyish in there yet. But there's so little to go on right now, it's hard to say. Some of the details are quite specific but also mundane. I'm reserving judgement for the time being.
I don't think he thinks Pocket is the marketing name. Just to identify the machines. But it still makes no sense.

"Pocket Console"
"Pocket Handheld"
Why would they name the console that .__.

The name "pocket" is either too deceptive and cause consumer confusion or it's precisely descriptive. I would say that this leak is false.
So a developer has to create a tv experience and a handheld experience separately? Seems fine but it's almost double the work.
That's my problem with that leak. The table of contents read like they could be real yet he seems to have problems in this regards as well as problems writing proper English. Maybe he is the son of a foreign developer.

Catering to 21:9 would mean nice big black bars on your TV though
. That or it would be an additional pain for developers having to optimise for both aspect ratios.Thanks, now I'm hungry.

This isn't true at all, stencil buffers have been around for decades. They're very relevant at the moment as well, given their usefulness for VR. Take a look at this Valve VR presentation from last year (pdf link, see slides 51-59).

I'm sorry. This looks terrible.
What market are they going for with this??
The Wii was so successful because they appealed so much to the casual gamer market. Motion controls were a new and interesting way to socialize (Wii Sports, etc.), so all sorts of people who didn't really play video games went and bought it.
The Wii U was a failure because people thought it was the same thing as the Wii, plus the market mentioned above moved to mobile gaming.
Now, who the hell (other than core Nintendo gamers) is going to buy this thing that looks like a Phone with 2 knobs in the way of the screen?

No company would reveal any of that shit to grunt level people.
Maybe a sales pitch to company heads to get the on board? Sure. To print a fucking handbook full of confidential marketing information?
What a joke
I'm not gonna complain if it does turn out to be real.
But I'm gonna need to be convinced that no buttons is the way to go.
Darn you. I'm hungry now.

It's not Nintendo's fault you don't own any JNCOs
But what if it has a handle? :OOOO

Having worked in localization, depending on the format a manual comes in, it's quite easy for the TOC to be a huge pain in the ass so I certainly wouldn't use the formatting in the potential leak to disprove anything.
I've worked on manuals from companies bigger than Nintendo where the TOCs were nightmares my team would each hope we wouldn't be the unlucky ones to get stuck fixing. It generally happens because whatever filetype the manual is created in ends up going through a converter to get localized and the conversion would make the formatting quite ugly. It's not all that time consuming to fix but for just a devkit manual I could easily see them getting the localized text in the file and calling it a day.

3DS is pretty much the worst counterpoint anyone could possibly make to the "this will make the device too expensive" argument. The thing had to be discounted a full $80, more than 30% off the original price, before its first year was up.

Not really...the 3DS's cost and power issues were from 3D and how taxing that was, not from the cost of the components. It's only a bad argument if the person has no idea what the 3DS' technical faults were caused by.
Breaking it down, 3D meant it had an effective resolution of 800:240, even though the screen was only 400:240, which meant to get the equivalent graphical fidelity required more power. In addition, 3D also meant that it needed a much stronger backlight, which contributed to it's battery life, or meant requiring a bigger battery. None of it's cost issues were from the screen being too pricey
edit: Ah, my bad, I understand what you mean now!
FWIW before Wii nobody knew casuals were gonna pick up a machine with motion controls. Casuals picked it up because what was fun appealed to them. If this looks fun to them...they'll pick it up.
Those who manufacture products can choose to give the consumers what they want or try to give the consumer what they didn't know they wanted.

Wanna see a full reveal before jumping to conclusions but it's pretty interesting/neat and very "Nintendo" of them. Always fun to see what Nintendo comes up with even though they can go pretty crazy at times. Also I definitely expect some removable handles/add-ons/etc for it like how Wii-motes did with nunchuks/etc.

I'm responding specifically to the part about the price being too high.
3DS is far and away Nintendo's biggest poster child for hardware that was overpriced at launch.

HA, That Internal Handbook is awful.
Every internal document I've used was pdf or if it was in word all the stuff on the TOC would be hotlinked so you can get to the page better. This looks like someone got a typewriter out and made this over a couple hours.

Maybe Nintendo didn't want it to leak on the webz and typed it on a typewriter and send it with the mailman.

The question is how did he even manage to fuck up the formatting? I mean, every single word processor formats lists basically automatically yet he somehow broke whatever he was using
why would two different sourced "fakes" have the exact same dimensions
doubt they're sharing CAD files in some attempt to gain notoriety or attention
i'm leaning on #teamreal
My tv remote is close to these dimensions (17cm/6cm), so I tried to take it like the "NX controller" and surprisingly it was more comfortable than I thought without the need of grips :

Agree, but they were able to cut the price significantly, which tells me they could have just launched at a lower price.

Although it's probably a whole load of BS, the idea of the controller locking into "peripherals" could explain why the patent image has handles/grips and these dev units don't as they might not be final.
